I'd strongly recommend going to one of the vendors on here and have them spec the cam exactly to what you are building. Its way cheaper to have it spec'd out by them once than to guess and swap cams later. My third cam was exactly what I was looking for. Don't do it that way

I've got a 234/240 .61x/.58x 113+4 that would work great with that.

And I don't mind helping out at all, even though I do get literally hundreds of questions a day

I can do a package with BTR Platinum Springs rated to .660" lift @ 400lbs open pressure, Manley .080" wall 5/16" push rods and that cam for 679.99.

You would substitute the V.1 for the Stage 2 Street Heat. http://www.tickperformance.com/tick-...r-ls6-engines/ We are going to have the option to choose any of our off the shelf camshafts in that package this week hopefully as we are adding more camshafts to the site very soon.
